In what way, shape, or form, do most Americans, or American 'Christians', represent Christian values? Your religion should be defined by the way you conduct yourself outside of church, not by the fact that you simply go to church every Sunday.

I respect Royce for what he was able to do in the early UFCs, especially in a tournament format where you fight more than once in one night. However, make no mistake about it, the Gracies have a long history of padding things in their favor with certain rules, such as Shamrock not being able to...

Ok, I can buy that explanation up to a point. Note I wasn't referring to anything Carlson said or believes in, I don't listen to any of his material, I was just making the comment about UFO's in general, as it seems to me a little ridiculous to refer to the entire subject as a conspiracy theory...

I'm curious as to why the US government, and almost every significant government in the world, would go through all the trouble of forming committees, special projects, and investigative units to investigate the UFO phenomena if it was all just something that required a passive hand wave and eye...

While I do agree with Jack on a great number of things, we've definitely butted heads on some certain issues and the biggest contention I have with him is that he insists that money and corporate lobby have little to no impact on policy. I actually called the corporate lobby legal bribery, and...

As I stated, I'm not much in to climate science so I can't comment with any certainty about specifics. I do completely agree with your very last sentence though. Speaking on that, I would also agree that a lot of the 'greener' planet organizations have shifted the pollution debate to regular...

That's the thing though. We can observe and predict the effects of the climate, along with potential outcomes, while not being able to agree on all the specifics of why it's happening. Just as you will agree that jumping off a tall building will lead to certain outcomes, even though the theory...

If you don't think gravity is 'settled science', you should try jumping off a real tall building and seeing if the science is settled or not. You won't because you too will agree that the law of gravity is observable and predictable, regardless of how much we can or cannot explain how it...

And yet you post more outrage porn from social media than just about any member of this forum. Who exactly are you talking about with descriptors such as 'fear based...hysteria...profit'? It's people like you, who seemingly spends all day combing social media 'hysterical' memes and hyperbole...

The variable that you are missing here is that it is much easier to be a challenger to the title, rather than a long running champion, for the sole fact that when you are champion for any length of time, everyone in the division is training to beat the champ specifically, this is why # of title...

Aldo was in a motorcycle accident several years ago that has been giving him back and neck problems ever since. Not to mention he has been through some wars over a 20yr career. Aldo vs Mendes II is one of my favorite fights of all time. That said, what he is doing now is impressive without...

Keyword above "component". Are politicians motivated by profit motive and 'free markets' as well? Would profit margin create the best politicians we've ever seen? As I originally stated, there are some things that carry social value, such as healthcare or governance, that should not be...

I was arguing against a position that was posted by someone else who I have no idea if they are a "right wing libertarian" or not, as I was responding to his post and not some pre-conceived assumption of the author's character. But thanks for the commentary, it was really helpful.

That's exactly what I said. Medical breakthroughs are not the sole result of a free market economy. There is public assistance with that in all kinds of ways. Or maybe you'd like to explain why Somalia, which is more of a 'free market economy' than the US, isn't leading the world in medical...

LOL at 'vastly superior at helping people'. Are you telling me that the US population is more healthy person for person than somewhere like Japan, which has more socialized healthcare? All I was saying is that 'free markets' are not the answer to every human problem, there must be a mix between...

And how much of the above was accomplished utilizing government subsidies, grants, or even government contracts? And you think the University system plays no role in medical breakthroughs either? A private business taking advantage of free R&D by the taxpayers is not a 'free market economy'...

To suggest that there are problems with turning healthcare over to a profit motive does not make me a communist, you lummox.

This is why healthcare should not be tied in to a profit motive. Not all things that provide social value need to be subjected to capitalism.

Native Americans put up a fight, they were just overwhelmed by the numbers and superior firepower, along with, as you mentioned, the diseases that they were not immune to.

The problem is people who rail against diversity act as if just because they are 'white' they are part of some homogeneous 'white' culture, of which Europe is not a singular 'white' culture. It's many diverse cultures with 'white' people in it.
